How to pamper yourself at home
Pour a glass of your favourite pinot (Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir is our pick), put your feet up, pop on a facemask and your favourite tunes and relax, because you deserve it! Here’s our picks of the best ways to pamper yourself at home while the salons are closed.

Hands feeling a little dry with all this hand washing, or is your face suffering with the change in season? Nicola Quinn Beauty & Day Spa has what you need. You can pick up plenty of goodies for your skin including facemasks, washes, moisturisers and serums. The online shop also stocks a range of supplements from Kiki Health to have you glowing from within.
Don’t forget to look after those feet of yours, too. You can soak them in some common household items to have them soft and restored. Try chamomile tea to help with inflammation – the scent will relax you, and you can add a tablespoon or two of coconut or olive oil to moisturise.
Get your zen on while you treat your body to some stretching and yourself to some ‘me time’. Yoga is great for the mind, body and soul and it has been suggested that doing just one session a week will improve your strength and mental health. Veronica King at Grassroots Yoga & Health has started uploading sessions to the studio’s Facebook page – be sure to check these out for some inspo!
Finally, don’t forget to pamper your mind. Keep learning each day. Pick up a book, download a podcast or learn a new skill – there’s an app out there for almost anything you could ever want to learn.
